This new book reveals 7 wonderful truths about the great spiritual beauty, power, and depth of Confession.
Many Catholics have a very limited and narrow view of this sacrament, which keeps them from discovering the real beauty and value of Confession. Too many Catholics believe that Confession is just a means to an end: cleaning us up from sin so we can receive Communion. And yet, it is so much more.
As he traveled all over the United States, Flynn saw that many Catholics have this flawed approach to Confession, and so he recognized the urgent need for clear teaching about this great Sacrament. If you do not look forward to going to Confession with the same eagerness and expectation with which you receive the Eucharist, this book is for you. It will be an entirely new way of approaching the Sacrament, inviting you to begin an exciting personal journey to holiness. This book just may change your life.
Editorial Reviews
Simple and clear, yet profound, this is a book which should be found in every Catholic home and on the book shelf of every confessor and director of souls. --Fr. Peter Damian Fehlner, S.T.D. Author, St. Maximilian Kolbe: Martyr of Charity
I greatly admire the writings of Vinny Flynn. You are going to love his latest gem, 7 Secrets of Confession! In an age in which the Sacrament of Reconciliation is often misunderstood and even ignored, this book offers invaluable insights. I will definitely be recommending it to the many people I meet as I travel and speak. --Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC Author, Under the Mantle
Vinny Flynn is my favorite Catholic writer, bar none. In 7 Secrets of Confession, he addresses the most misunderstood sacrament of the Church, and his readers will never look at confession the same way again. Taking the intimidation factor out of this great sacrament, he brings it into new relevancy for today's Catholics and helps us realize that confession is not something we have to do; it's something we get to do. --Felix Carroll, Author, Lost, Loved, Found: 17 Divine Mercy Conversions
Simple and clear, yet profound, this is a book which should be found in every Catholic home and on the book shelf of every confessor and director of souls. --Fr. Peter Damian Fehlner, S.T.D. Author, St. Maximilian Kolbe: Martyr of Charity
